Evelyn & Frank Jett have that once in a lifetime love, the love that young married couples, like myself, always dream of. They have been married for 64 years! That is amazing <3 Frank is 90 years old, and Evelyn is 88, but their spirits are of someone in their early 20s! They were so nice to welcome me into their home, which Frank built for his family in the early 60s. They have 4 children, 11 grandchildren and 10 great grandchilden [ with 2 on the way making 12 greats! ] They are such a great example to all those young souls growing up near them. I can tell they bring smiles to lots of faces when they are around. Just listening to them talking and telling their stories, showing me their pictures, and witnessing the history of them and their family was something I will never forget. Sarah, their grand daughter, asked me to come into their home and just capture them as they are. Every day for breakfast lunch and dinner they sit at their table together, & everyday they sit in their recliners together & read their bibles.  Above their couch is an image of Evelyns parents that the local news paper took and did an article on them, about how they are just a simple farm family living the life, It was important that we try to recreate that image for them, I hope that they can cherish these images ive captured for them, and I hope their grandchildren can look at these images years from now and show them to THEIR children and tell the great stories of these 2 amazing people in an amazing love!!

PS please click on the image to see a crystal clear photo - they are a bit compressed in my blog :) thanks and enjoy!
